For most of human history, space has been a place we visited. The next chapter may be about building there.For decades, space was the domain of governments, astronauts, and science fiction. Today, falling launch costs, reusable rockets, and a new generation of ambitious founders are turning orbit into something else entirely: a place to build. The question is no longer whether humanity can construct large-scale infrastructure in space, but what we should build first—and why.In this episode of TechSurge, host Sriram Vishwanath speaks with Dr. Ariel Ekblaw, Founder and CEO of Aurelia Institute, Research Affiliate at MIT's Space Exploration Initiative, and founder of Rendezvous Robotics. Ariel has spent her career exploring one of the most fundamental challenges of the emerging space economy: how to build structures in orbit that are far larger than anything that can fit inside a rocket.Ariel explains the origins of TESSERAE, her pioneering work on autonomous self-assembling space architecture, and how ideas borrowed from biology, swarm intelligence, and modular construction could unlock a future of massive solar arrays, communications infrastructure, orbital laboratories, and eventually human habitats in space.The conversation explores the rapidly emerging market for in-orbit infrastructure, including AI data centers in space, space-based solar power, and the technologies needed to support a permanent industrial presence beyond Earth. Ariel breaks down the engineering realities behind these ideas—why cooling data centers in space is harder than most people assume, how autonomous assembly could solve the scale problem, and why the future of orbital infrastructure may look more like a business park than a collection of standalone satellites.Sriram and Ariel also discuss the broader implications of humanity's return to space: the economics unlocked by reusable launch systems, the opportunities created by dramatically lower transportation costs, and the second-order innovations that may emerge from building an industrial ecosystem in orbit. Along the way, they examine space debris, stewardship of the orbital commons, artificial gravity, and what it will take to make long-term human habitation in space viable.At the heart of the discussion is Ariel's belief that space is not an escape from Earth's problems, but a tool for solving them. Whether through advanced manufacturing, new energy systems, biotechnology research, or entirely new industries, she argues that the next era of space exploration should be focused on improving life here at home.Sign up for our newsletter at techsurgepodcast.com for updates on upcoming TechSurge Live Summits and future episodes.Links:Ariel Ekblaw on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/arielekblawAurelia Institute:https://www.aureliainstitute.orgRendezvous Robotics:https://www.rdvrobotics.comMIT Space Exploration Initiative:https://www.media.mit.edu/groups/space-exploration/overview/How Aurelia is Designing Self-Assembling Space Stations: https://www.fastcompany.com/91242689/how-the-aurelia-institute-is-designing-a-self-assembling-space-stationOverview Energy (Space-Based Solar Power): https://www.overviewenergy.comStarCatcher Industries (Space-to-Space Power Transmission): https://www.starcatcherindustries.comImpulse Space (Orbital Transportation): https://www.impulsespace.comReferences Mentioned During the DiscussionEarthrise - The Apollo 8 Photograph: https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/apollo-8-earthrise/Carl Sagan's “Pale Blue Dot”: https://www.planetary.org/worlds/pale-blue-dotBuckminster Fuller Institute: https://www.bfi.orgWatch Ariel's Talks & InterviewsAurelia Institute YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AureliaInstituteAriel's TED Talk: https://youtu.be/IHrGK3Mu5K4?si=QwGHq1BEoB-QMUjkSpace Business Podcast - Self-Assembling Space Habitats with Ariel Ekblaw: https://spacebusiness.podbean.com/e/137-self-assembling-space-habitats-ariel-ekblaw-founder-ceo-aurelia-institute/Further ReadingNASA's Artemis Program: https://www.nasa.gov/artemisInternational Space Station (ISS): https://www.nasa.gov/international-space-stationAurelia Institute's Vision for Humanity's Future in Space: https://www.aureliainstitute.orgMIT News: Supporting Mission-Driven Space Innovation: https://news.mit.edu/2025/supporting-mission-driven-space-innovation-aurelia-institute-0710Timestamps:[00:00] Highlights[00:34] Welcome to the Episode[02:33] The New Space Race Begins[04:10] Meet Dr. Ariel Ekblaw[06:30] Why We Explore Space?

No matter how much my life shifts, I suppose I will always be the woman who starts seeds in late winter. Even in the midst of deep uncertainty.In this episode, I'm sharing what starting over looks like in my new garden. I'll walk you through the new space, the first steps I'm taking to build a garden from scratch, and the goals I have for it both now and for the future. I'm sure these plans will shift and evolve over the coming months, but for now, this is where I'm beginning.Podcast Episode Highlights:Why I planted seeds this yearMy current garden burnoutWhy I decided to garden anywayDescribing my new gardenMy new garden goalsGrowing microgreensFinal thoughts Resources Mentioned in This Podcast Episode:Find your garden seeds and supplies at True Leaf Market and use the code: homestead15 for 15% off your order.Find Redmond's Soil Test Kit here: http://theprairiehomestead.com/soiltestCheck out the pictures of my new garden in this post: https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/2026/05/starting-seeds-starting-over.htmlHere's my previous podcast episode on my garden plans that I refer to in today's episode: https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/tph_podcasts/season-18-episode-9-im-not-planting-a-garden-this-year-heres-whyOTHER HELPFUL RESOURCES FOR YOUR HOMESTEAD:Sign up for weekly musings from my homestead: https://jillwinger.substack.com/Get my free homesteading tutorials & recipes here: www.theprairiehomestead.comJill on Instagram: @jill.wingerJill on Facebook: http://facebook.com/theprairiehomesteadApply to be a guest on the Old-Fashioned on Purpose podcast: https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/podcast-guest-applicationDid you enjoy listening to this episode?

Before livestreaming became ordinary, satellite communications transformed how humanity experienced the world. In this episode of Movers…In Our Orbit, SSPI Executive Director Tamara Bond-Williams speaks with Robert M. Patterson, founder of The SPACECONNECTION, about the rise of satellite television and the communications revolution that made live global broadcasting possible. Inspired by the Apollo 11 broadcast, Patterson went on to help pioneer satellite sports distribution, HDTV broadcasting, digital transmission techniques, and transportable uplink systems that reshaped television infrastructure worldwide. The conversation also explores what today's NewSpace generation can learn from earlier cycles of communications innovation, industry transformation, and technology hype.
Deutschland mit Bleiweste – Dr. Hendrik Brandis im GesprächIn dieser Folge von Wirtschaft mit Weisbach geht es um Venture Capital, Deep Tech, New Space, Kernfusion und die Frage, warum Deutschland zwar technologisch stark ist, daraus aber zu selten große, skalierende Unternehmen entstehen.Ich spreche mit Dr. Hendrik Brandis, der bereits 1997 das Venture-Capital-Unternehmen Earlybird mitgegründet hat und seit mehr als 30 Jahren in junge Technologieunternehmen investiert. Earlybird gehört zu den größten und ältesten Start-up-Finanzierern Europas und ist unter anderem bei Isar Aerospace, Marvel Fusion und N26 investiert.Brandis beschreibt Deutschland als grundsätzlich hochattraktiven Standort mit starker wissenschaftlicher Basis und großer technologischer Innovationskraft. Gleichzeitig sieht er das Land durch Bürokratie, Überregulierung und falsche Kapitalallokation gebremst — wie einen leistungsfähigen Schwimmer mit Bleiweste.Außerdem im Podcast:Warum aus deutscher Spitzenforschung zu selten große Technologieunternehmen entstehenWeshalb fehlende Ambition, Regulierung und Wachstumskapital zentrale Hürden sindWas die Beispiele Lilium und Marvel Fusion über den Standort Deutschland zeigenWarum New Space und Deep Tech heute besser zu Venture-Capital-Modellen passen als früherWelche Rolle privates Kapital für Innovation und Wachstum spielen müssteEin Gespräch über Venture Capital, Regulierung, Wachstumskapital, Deep Tech, New Space, Kernfusion, die Zukunft des Technologiestandorts Deutschland und die Frage, was passieren muss, damit aus guter Forschung auch große Unternehmen entstehen.Vielen Dank fürs Zuhören!Themenvorschläge gerne an: kontakt@wirtschaftmitweisbach.deAnnette Weisbach ist seit über 15 Jahren als Wirtschaftsjournalistin für internationale Medien wie CNBC, Bloomberg und DW-TV tätig.

Imagine giant space rocks zooming through the universe, but instead of following the usual cosmic rules, they do their own thing. That's exactly what scientists discovered—seven mysterious "dark comets" that seem to defy the known laws of motion. Unlike regular comets, these don't have bright, glowing tails, making them nearly invisible. They also move in unpredictable ways, as if something unknown is influencing their paths. Some experts think they might be covered in strange materials that absorb light, while others believe unseen forces could be at play. Whatever the reason, these rogue comets are rewriting what we thought we knew about space! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome back to The Warrior Artist! After some time away, host Éadaoin Glynn is back with a personal catch-up episode covering everything that's been happening in her practice: a new studio, art education, mentorship, and an upcoming solo exhibition.In this episode:Eadaoin shares why having a clear goal is one of the most important tools in an artist's practice, and walks us through the big moves she's made over the past year:A Purpose-Built StudioAfter a year in her first dedicated studio space (a prefabricated garden room with high walls, overhead windows, and yes, a sink), Éadaoin reflects on how separating her practice from her home life has been a genuine game-changer.The RHA School, DublinEadaoin enrolled in the part-time Painting Resolution programme at the RHA School in Dublin, one day a week. She shares what group crits feel like for the first time (nerve-wracking!), the value of articulating your work out loud, and a standout comparative study exercise, which led to a surprising realisation: her work had drifted from the abstract quality she actually loves.Mentorship with Vanessa JonesThrough the RHA programme, Eadaoin was paired with painting mentor Vanessa Jones, a lecturer at NCAD. Their regular Zoom sessions provided invaluable outside perspective.Solo Exhibition: The Slow Moon ClimbsEadaoin is preparing for a solo show, The Slow Moon Climbs, at the Backwater Artists Group, Cork, opening October 2026, working with Cork-based curator Kim Crowley. The exhibition explores the visibility of women's bodies as they age, including perimenopause, menopause, post-menopause, and ageing more broadly. The work began autobiographically and has since expanded into something more collective, shaped by an anonymous online survey inviting others to share their own experiences.The WorkEadaoin talks through her materials and process: acrylic on raw and primed canvas, the unpredictability of staining and pigment movement, her use of colour as emotional shorthand, and her most recent paintings, beginning with abstract grounds of tide-mark pigment onto which she then positions the body.Contribute to the online SurveyIf you have 10 minutes and would like to share your anonymous experience of perimenopause, menopause, post-menopause, or ageing, whether positive, negative, or uncertain, Éadaoin would love to hear from you. Your words will feed directly into her work.

Space just became an asset class. Q1 2026 alone saw $36 billion deployed — and the SpaceX IPO could be the first trillion-dollar offering in history.This week on Money On Tap, Ben Brayshaw and Dan Michelon walk through what they're calling the railroads of space — the picks-and-shovels companies quietly building the rails that everything else will ride on.What you'll learn:Why the SpaceX IPO is the single biggest catalyst hanging over the entire sectorThe three investable layers: access · infrastructure · application & dataA walk-through of the public names already in motion — RKLB, ASTS, IRDM, PL, RDWWhere robotics fits — and why Honeybee Robotics and Redwire matter more than people thinkThe four real risks: capital intensity, government dependence, boom-bust speculation, and SpaceX disruptionWhy an actively managed space-themed ETF may be the most prudent way for retail investors to participatePlus Money In The News:Active ETFs cross $1 trillion — and why the cost trade-off is worth it for many investorsRound Hill's DRAM ETF pulls $1B in 10 days, giving U.S. investors backdoor access to Samsung and SK Hynix$4 gas drives consumer confidence to a record-low 47.6% — lower than 2008 — and inflation expectations climb toward 4.8%Read the companion blog: brayshawfinancial.com/blogSchedule a free consultation: app.greminders.com/t/9f3ce72e/initialconsultaFull Money On Tap episode library: brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapContact UsPhone: 855-226-8551Email: info@yourmoneyontap.comOffice: 116 South River Road, Bedford, NH 03110Web: brayshawfinancial.comWhat is the "picks and shovels" approach to space investing? The picks-and-shovels approach focuses on the suppliers, infrastructure providers, and service companies that support a fast-growing industry — rather than betting on a single headline name. In space, that means owning the makers of satellites, components, ground networks, robotics, and data services that profit no matter which rocket company ultimately wins.
Éco d'ici, éco d'ailleurs explore cette semaine les transformations majeures de l'économie mondiale à travers trois secteurs stratégiques : les infrastructures numériques, l'innovation technologique liée au climat et la conquête spatiale. Trois entrepreneurs européens livrent leur vision de ces nouveaux champs de compétition où se jouent souveraineté, innovation et croissance. Une bataille qui se joue désormais autant sur Terre… que dans l'espace. Immersion dans les data centers : la souveraineté numérique en action Invité : Louis Blanchot, CEO d'Etix Everywhere L'émission débute par une visite immersive dans un data center, infrastructure clé de l'économie numérique. Louis Blanchot présente les enjeux techniques et stratégiques de ces installations. Un pilier invisible de l'économie numérique Les data centers assurent le stockage et le traitement des données, indispensables au fonctionnement d'Internet, du cloud et de l'intelligence artificielle. Leur fonctionnement repose sur quatre piliers essentiels : une alimentation électrique continue un système de refroidissement performant une sécurité renforcée une connectivité optimale La gestion thermique est cruciale : les serveurs doivent fonctionner dans une plage de température précise pour éviter toute défaillance. Un secteur en pleine expansion Porté par l'essor de l'IA, le marché des data centers connaît une croissance rapide. Etix s'est spécialisé dans les « data centers de proximité » (edge), permettant de rapprocher les infrastructures des utilisateurs finaux et d'améliorer la performance des services. L'entreprise a connu une forte croissance, passant de quelques sites à un réseau national couvrant plusieurs régions françaises, avec des ambitions européennes. L'enjeu clé : la souveraineté des données Au-delà de la performance technique, Louis Blanchot insiste sur un enjeu stratégique majeur : la souveraineté numérique. Dans un contexte géopolitique tendu, la maîtrise des données devient essentielle, notamment pour les secteurs sensibles comme : la défense l'aéronautique la recherche et développement L'idée n'est pas de tout localiser, mais de protéger les données stratégiques. Le choix d'un opérateur de data center devient ainsi un acte politique autant qu'économique. Transformer la recherche en business : le modèle du startup studio Invité : Olivier Thirifays, cofondateur de BXVentures Deuxième étape de l'émission : la Belgique pour découvrir le modèle du startup studio avec BXVentures Un pont entre laboratoire et marché Le constat de départ est simple : l'Europe regorge de technologies innovantes issues de la recherche, mais celles-ci peinent souvent à atteindre le marché. Le startup studio propose une approche différente : collaboration étroite avec les chercheurs co-création de startups financement initial accompagnement stratégique Contrairement aux incubateurs classiques, le studio s'implique directement dans la création des entreprises et partage les risques. Focus sur les climate tech BX Ventures se concentre sur les technologies liées au climat, avec une double exigence : impact environnemental positif viabilité économique L'objectif est de développer des innovations capables de répondre à des besoins industriels concrets, sans dépendre uniquement de réglementations ou de subventions. Un écosystème à construire Le modèle repose sur une collaboration étroite avec les industriels dès les premières phases. Cela permet : d'évaluer la pertinence des technologies d'ajuster leur développement de sécuriser leur débouché commercial Un exemple emblématique est le projet Chipswin, qui vise à structurer un écosystème européen dans la microélectronique en mutualisant infrastructures, compétences et ressources. Un enjeu européen majeur Pour Olivier Thirifays, l'Europe doit accélérer la mise sur le marché de ses innovations. Trop souvent, les technologies restent bloquées au stade du prototype, alors que d'autres régions du monde avancent plus vite. L'enjeu est clair : renforcer la souveraineté industrielle en densifiant l'écosystème technologique. Le NewSpace : l'économie à la conquête du cosmos Invité : Charles Beigbeder, entrepreneur et investisseur, président du fonds Audacia, auteur NewSpace, l'économie à la conquête du cosmos (Eyrolles) L'entretien est à découvrir en vidéo ici L'émission s'ouvre sur un horizon encore plus vaste : l'espace. Charles Beigbeder, investisseur passionné, décrypte les nouvelles opportunités économiques du secteur spatial. Une révolution en cours Le spatial n'est plus réservé aux États. Grâce à la baisse des coûts : fabrication de satellites lancements en orbite de nouveaux acteurs privés investissent massivement ce secteur. Le « new space » devient ainsi un terrain de compétition économique majeur, avec des applications multiples : connectivité mondiale observation de la Terre exploitation future de ressources extraterrestre Trois phases historiques Charles Beigbeder distingue trois grandes étapes : une phase géopolitique dominée par la guerre froide une phase industrielle contrôlée par de grands groupes une phase actuelle marquée par l'arrivée d'acteurs privés Aujourd'hui, l'espace devient un domaine économique « normal », accessible aux entreprises et aux investisseurs.

With the Artemis II crew completing the first crewed lunar flyby in 50 years, space is back in the spotlight, and so is the complex world of risk that surrounds it. In this episode of the Leader's Edge Podcast, Denis Bensoussan, head of space at Beazley, discusses innovations from the maturing space insurance market. From satellite constellations circling the globe to the possibility of data centers on the moon, risks in space are expanding almost as fast as the universe itself.
Hey — tune into this episode of Liquid Late Nights where we unpack Artemis on the pad (T‑minus and counting), why the moon is suddenly the new “high ground” and gas station for Mars, and how politics, private rockets, and pure nostalgia are driving us back. CD, Mr. A, and GQ bring jokes, history, and straight talk about rovers, nuclear dreams, and the race for lunar resources. Whether you're a space nerd or just love good convo, we're keeping it real: it's about money, strategy, and possibly the biggest real estate play in the solar system. Come laugh, learn, and argue with us like we're on your couch.
On today's show, we hear about a local opera group taking advantage of the natural beauty of the Ozarks at Inspiration Point Center for the Arts. Plus, we have a preview of the ballet "The Sacred Veil." We also learn how the Woodland Junior High Quiz Bowl team prepares for its championship.
A new retail and business incubator space has officially opened in the historic Rondo neighborhood of St. Paul. Rondo Exchange on Selby Avenue is now home to four new businesses that span photography, visual art, self-care products and digital illustration. The Rondo Community Land Trust is behind the incubator, which aims to provide retail space and support to creative entrepreneurs. The land trust's larger mission is to foster community wealth and stability in Rondo, a community that was fractured more than 60 years ago when the construction of I-94 displaced many long-term residents from the predominantly-Black neighborhood.Mikeya Griffin, president and CEO of the Rondo Community Land Trust, joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about Rondo Exchange.

Send a textOn this episode of the Get Ready Before Life Happens Podcast, I spoke with Carol Chiang, aging-in-place expert and author of Age in Place or Find a New Space, about how to take control of your aging journey with an aging plan.
The new space race is beginning; It's not just between nations, but between commercial giants, shadow governments, and emerging players staking claims to orbits that are becoming dangerously crowded. The world is entering an era where control of the orbits will define global power. What's fueling this revolution isn't just rocket science. It's economic scale, exotic propellants, and a surge in miniaturized, high-functioning satellites. But with this explosion comes risk: orbital debris fields, collisions that could cripple constellations, and the looming specter of space warfare. In this replay episode of The Aerospace Executive Podcast, I'm joined by Tory Bruno. Formerly the CEO of United Launch Alliance and now President of Blue Origin, he brings an unmatched perspective on the forces reshaping access to space. We cover the radical shifts reshaping orbital real estate, why small launch companies are failing despite demand, and why directed energy weapons in space might be the future of global defense. You'll also learn: Why the true space cost revolution isn't in launch, but in satellite architecture The hard truth about the “300% drop in launch prices” myth How mini satellites are creating billion-dollar constellations and traffic jams in orbit The quiet arms race: Anti-satellite weapons, Kessler syndrome, and debris fields that could end entire constellations Why lasers may be the only real answer to hypersonic threats Why methane propulsion is suddenly viable and what finally cracked the code Why the biggest competitive edge isn't rockets, it's people Guest Bio Tory Bruno is the President and CEO of United Launch Alliance (ULA), the largest rocket launch company in the world. Since taking the helm in August 2014, he has led ULA through a transformative era, retiring legacy systems, developing the next-generation Vulcan rocket, and expanding the company's commercial and national security portfolio. Before ULA, Tory spent over three decades at Lockheed Martin, where he began his career as a propulsion engineer and steadily rose through the ranks to become a senior executive. He has deep expertise in advanced propulsion, hypersonics, missile defense, and launch systems, and is widely recognized as one of the aerospace industry's most accomplished and forward-thinking leaders.

This week, we talk with our favorite Newspace Buccaneer, Jeffrey Manber. When so many people were touting their private spaceflight dreams in the 1980s, Manber took the next enormous stride and actually made it happen. He formed the Office of Space Commerce within the US Department of Commerce at the invitation of the Reagan administration, forged the first commercial relations with the then-Soviet Union, bridged that into the post-USSR period, and was responsible for the first commercial spaceflight to the then-mothballed Soviet-era Mir space station with a crew that stayed there for 70 days. He then went on to develop a variety of commercial space enterprises, from the first commercial platform to release smallsats from the ISS to initiating the Bishop airlock that became part of the space station. He also started Nanoracks, the first privately developed and standardized satellite deployment mechanism to fly. Finally, he initiated Starlab, the private space station currently under development by Voyager Technologies and a consortium of aerospace companies.

In an era where the global population is aging faster than ever—projected to have more people over 65 than under 18 within the next decade—staying in your own home shouldn't feel like an impossible dream. Yet for many, the transition from independent living to "aging in place" is fraught with hidden costs, safety pitfalls, and unspoken taboos. Enter Carol Chiang, an occupational therapist with 27 years of experience, mostly in home care, who has distilled her frontline wisdom into a practical guide: Age in Place or Find a New Space.In a recent lively discussion hosted by senior living advocate Steve (the transcript of which forms the backbone of this article), Chiang unpacked the book's core message: Aging well at home isn't about grand overhauls or pricey gadgets—it's about mindset shifts, early planning, and designs that work for everyone. From debunking myths about stair glides to championing "universal design," Chiang's insights empower families to turn homes into havens of independence. As she puts it, "The choices you make today are the consequences you're going to reap tomorrow. It's a gift to your future self."Watch the full discussion, chat and resources https://www.retirementlivingsourcebook.com/videos/age-in-place-or-find-a-new-space-occupational-therapist-carol-chiang-shares-secrets-from-her-new-book
Occupational therapist and aging-in-place expert Carol Chiang joins us to discuss her new book, Age in Place or Find a New Space. Carol explains why meaningful interactions—not just safety—belong at the center of planning for life with Parkinson's, and how "the choices you make today become the consequences you live with tomorrow." In this podcast episode, Carol discusses the importance of early-stage steps like decluttering and fall-prevention basics, practical visual cueing for freezing, how to break home updates into manageable pieces, and honest caregiver conversations. Carol also shares how to think about modifying a home versus considering a move, and why planning early protects both independence and connection. A grounded, hopeful conversation about creating a home that supports who you are and how you want to live.

Russia Debates Orbit and Costs for Post-ISS Space Station. Anatoly Zak explains how Roscosmos faces a debate over the orbit of its new space station: a low-inclination 51-degree orbit or a more expensive near-polar orbit. The polar orbit offers strategic Arctic observation but increases radiation risk and reduces payload capacity. Economic realities may push Roscosmos toward the cheaper 51-degree orbit, possibly using existing ISS infrastructure, to ensure an operational station for cosmonauts by 2031. 1957

PREVIEW HEADLINE: Roscosmos Debates New Space Station Orbit: Cost-Effective Soyuz Path Versus Polar Orbit for Northern Survey GUEST NAME: Anatoly Zak 50-WORD SUMMARY: Anatoly Zak discusses Roscosmos's debate on the orbit for a post-ISS space station, balancing money against usefulness. Choosing the 51° orbit allows use of the operational Soyuz vehicle for delivering crews and is the cheapest, simplest, and most economical way to proceed. However, the polar orbit is more conducive for surveying the northern shoreline, which is opening due to ice retreat. 1959 Retry
